"He should be able to play after [Nottingham Forest]," Slot said. "It depends on what happens after, but that shouldn't be that long." He might be able to return for PSV or West Ham United this week.
"He is not in a good place, of course, because he tore his ACL and it means he will be out for a year," Slot said at the time. He has so many years still to go after he recovers from a terrible injury like that." After PSV and West Ham this week, Liverpool will host Sunderland in the Premier League and then travel to Leeds United.
